What are you talking about? Hofstra's 25th-75th is 152-158. Penn State 154-159.

Given the current legal market, I would argue that neither of those schools are worth going to for anything approaching sticker.

Employment rate for Hofstra is 94%. Private sector starting salary for 25th- 75th percentile is $80,000 to $160,000. Definitely worth going to even if you have to pay sticker, you could pay back your loans in a reasonable amount of time.

Ugh. There are literally thousands of posts on this website and others that explain how horribly, horribly wrong that statement is. I'm not going to reitterate it for you.

Here's an idea. See what schools on the list you get into with a 156, make your decision as to what is best suitable for your needs, and then bust your ass once you're there in order to graduate in the top 5% of your class. You will be able to get a job then regardless as to where you go.

Granted, it requires inordinate amounts of time and effort and whether it happens is completely up to you, but it is a great possibility if you want it.
